You have 1.50 kg of water at28.0°Cin an insulated container of negligible mass. You add 0.600 kg of ice that is initially at-22.0°C. Assume that no heat exchanges with the surroundings. (a) After thermal equilibrium has been reached, has all of the ice melted? (b) If all of the ice has melted, what is the final temperature of the water in the container? If some ice remains, what is the final temperature of the water in the container, and how much ice remains?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The heat required for melting ice is2.276×105J .

b) There will be still ice remaining in the water so the final temperature is 0℃.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

Mass of water: 150 kg

Temperature of water: 28°C

Mass of ice: 0.600 kg

Temperature of ice: -22°C

02

Concept/Significance of thermal equilibrium

When two systems are connected to each other via a path that permits heat flow. A point at which the heat flow stops is called as thermal equilibrium

03

Determination of the heat required to melt ice.

Heat from water when cooled at 0°Cis given by,

Q=mcT

Here, m is the mass of water, c is the specific heat and Tis the change in temperature.

Substitute values in the above,

Q=1.5kg4190J/kg.K28K=1.76×105J

Ice will melt by the hear given,

Q=mcT+mLf

Here, m is the mass of water, c is the specific heat, is the change in temperature and is the latent heat of ice.

Substitute all the values in the above,

Q=0.600kg2100J/kg.K22K+3.34×105J/kg=2.276×105J

Thus, the heat required is 2.276×105J.

04

Determination of the final temperature of the water in the container

For the melting of ice,

Qfromwater=mcT+miceLfmice=Qfromwater-mcTLf

Here, m is the mass of water, c is the specific heat, Tis the change in temperature and Lfis the latent heat of ice.

Substitute all the values in the above,

mice=1.76×105J-0.600kg2100J/kg.K22K3.34×105J/kgmice=0.444kg

The ice remaining is given by,

mremaining=0.600kg=0.444kg=0.156kg

Thus, there will be still ice remaining in the water so the final temperature is 0°C.

In some household air conditioners used in dry climates, air is cooled by blowing it through a water-soaked filter, evaporating some of the water. How does this cool the air? Would such a system work well in a high-humidity climate? Why or why not?

Q18.26: A beaker of water at room temperature is placed in an enclosure, and the air pressure in the enclosure is slowly reduced. When the air pressure is reduced sufficiently, the water begins to boil. The temperature of the water does not rise when it boils; in fact, the temperature drops slightly. Explain these phenomena.

If you heat the air inside a rigid, sealed container until its Kelvin temperature doubles, the air pressure in the container will also double. Is the same thing true if you double the Celsius temperature of the air in the container? Explain.

The efficiency of heat engines is high when the temperature difference between the hot and cold reservoirs is large. Refrigerators, on the other hand, work better when the temperature difference is small. Thinking of the mechanical refrigeration cycle shown in Fig. 20.9, explain in physical terms why it takes less work to remove heat from the working substance if the two reservoirs (the inside of the refrigerator and the outside air) are at nearly the same temperature, than if the outside air is much warmer than the interior of the refrigerator.

Imagine a special air filter placed in a window of a house. The tiny holes in the filter allow only air molecules moving faster than a certain speed to exit the house, and allow only air molecules moving slower than that speed to enter the house from outside. Explain why such an air filter would cool the house, and why the second law of thermodynamics makes building such a filter an impossible task.
